Slow down your gun - you might shoot yourself

Once upon a time a school clerk, who stalled a man dressed in black who had sneaked into an elementary school with an AK-47, giving the police time to arrive, before he could make his way into classrooms, there were packed lot of children, at Decatur in  Atala, according to New York Times.

The man, who the police said was Michael B. Hill, 20, and lived near the school, the Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, was in a car that the police said they suspected carried some type of explosives along with other weapons.

He was “a young man that was ready to kill anybody that he could”, Antoinette Tuff, said in an interview with ABC News. Ms. Tuff kept him engaged throughout the ordeal. The gunman also held other employees hostage.

I just started telling him my life story and what was going on with me,

Ms. Tuff said.
She told him to empty his pockets and backpack and to put his weapons down.
And the man listened, and he got something.
Perhaps no one had ever listened to him, and  had understood him.
For americans, a rare skill.
